ORDEAL FOR JUDY
npOM BEV1NS went on:
"Yon forget I've known Nor
man all of Ills life, lived In tbe same
block wltb blm since tbe day be was
born. He Is as generous as ran be
wltb tbings be likes, bnt be won't
sbare anything he loves wltb any
one. "1 remember a woolly lamb be bad
when be was a little tike. He loved
that thing, wouldn't put It In his play
box for fear my daughter Mathilda
would get IL And of course that
was the very thing she wanted . . .
but this Isn't getting to work Is It,
Judy?"
Judith shook her bead. She had
almost forgotten Big Tom had a
daughter, sbe spent so much of ber
time away at school, or abroad. 8he
when they admitted a desire foi
them to marry.
"What makes you think she
does?"
"Wants to sell our home. The
city has grown up around It until
It's like living In a boiler factory.
Then of course you know, mother Is
a bridge fan and I'm tempted to
believe she'd like to move Into some
residential hotel where she would
have enougb partnora to play from
dawn to dawn."
"Oh," Judith's tone was lees
skeptical, "but you have such a love
ly home. Clla pointed It out to me
one day."
Sbo waa silent a moment and
Norman, turning, saw her brow fur
rowed. "Now what's worrying
you?" he asked.
"Just this." She turned towards
blm, booted feet braced to the sway
of the deck, as they turned Into tbe
channel, bands In breeches pockets,
khaki sblrt open a' the throat.
"Norman, you're everything 1
shouldn t marry all rolled up into
one man. You're an Indoor man and
I should marry an out-of-door man.
You'll approach a problem from tbe
ethical side and I'll approach It from
the scientific. You have a social
background and I baven't any at
all-'
"Judy, listen. If we married our
prototypes the world would go to
seed. Suppose the tall men married
tall girls, the short ones short girls,
tne doctors doctors "
"And lawyers lawyers?"
"Mother nature baa to shuffle
them up to give each generation a
fresh deal. All tbat's needed to
make a success of marriage Is
enough love."
"Norm," there was mischief In Ju
dith's voice, "what's enough?"
pHEY had entered the harbor.
Against the burnt orange after-
STATE'S LIQUOR
would like to have heard more of
Norman's childhood.
"About your leaving mo," Bavins
went on. "I had supposed you would
want to be free as soon as our sur-
voy reports were completed, so I
made arrangementt for young Qood
win to take your place. Of course
I'm selfish enough to have wanted
' you In tbe Hold while the dam was
under construction, but then . . ." be
. shrugged bis shoulders.
"We could wait until It was an-
. lshed," offered Judith,
"No no," protested Bevlns quick
ly, "I want to see you married to
the boy. I couldn't bave wanted a
floor lad for my own son" be
stopped as though startled by an
Idea, then went on "sort of feel
I'll be doing Erall -. favor seeing his
daughter safe . . ." his voice dwin
dled off and he looked out across
the Intense blue of the Oulf as
though he were seeing far beyond
Judith's physical vision. '
Judith watched Mm, grey eyes
tender. Next to her father's mem
ory she loved Big Tom. They spent
so much time together. Unhappy at
home, be would wait until his wife
and daughter started one of their
Innumerable trips, then would visit
Judith's apartment, content to min
gle with her friends.
She was heartened by the thought
that he might use hor borne, hers
and Norman's, as a rotroat from his
loneliness.
"CUPPOSB we got after these re
ports," suggosted Bovlns. and
the two bent their heads over maps
and note books filled with figures.
Twilight was sweeping up from
the east when Judltb and Norman
found time to be alone together
again. Galveston, still bathed In the
last rays of the sun, but showing
twinkling jetty lights, lay to the
starboard.
"Did I toll you 1 sent a wire to
mother from Rio Msr?" Norman In
quired as they stood on deck.
"Oh." It was a quick breathed re
ply. Of course be had a mother, but
she'd forgotten Mrs J. Anthony
Dale must play an Important part In
their life. "Hope she'll like me."
"Sbe will. She's been wanting me
to marry and move Into a bouse of
my own for a long time."
Judith winced. Mothers of only
tons usually had the girl chosen
glow, ships at anchor wore blocked
In charcoal lines on a saffron bay.
One, a pleasure yacbt, was fes
tooned with lights, disclosing a gay
party on the after deck. Men In
flannels, girls In 81 ray summer
frocks.
"Good hoavons," said Norman,
"there's Big Tom's yacht wltb a
party aboard. I'll bet they're bore
to meet us."
Judith took one dismayed look at
the yacht, another at her worn j
khaki shirt and breeches, a third at
Norman. Was sbe to enter bis
world looking like this?
Norman looked down at Judltb,
then out at the yacht where bis
friends were assembled.
"Norm," Judith was tugging at
his sleeve, "I can't go aboard look
ing like this."
"Judy." he answered, loyally,
"looking like that you'll stampede
the orowd."
"You're comforting," shk ad
mitted, then noticed the yacbt'a ten
der pulling 'longeldo, and seated In
the bow a large, One looking woman.
"Hollo, Mother," shouted Nor
man. The woman .waved. "Hello, son,
whore's my girl?"
judltb had a distinct desire to
ory. No mother of an only son bad
any right to be so sporting. Tbe
wire telling of their engagement
must have come aa a shock.
She couldn't possibly be over
Joyed at meeting a girl of whom she
probably never heard before,

BY BOOTLEGGING
PORTLAND, March 17. (AP) Boot
legger are Mlllng 70 per cent of the
hard liquor distributed In Portland.
This was the Inference left by
Oeorge h. Sam mis, administrator of
the Oregon liquor control syotem
when at a meeting of the control
board here Thursday, he said the state
stores "are selling 95 per cent of the
liquor sold in Portland," and added
that moonshiners and bootleggers arc
operating "with very little hlnder
ance. The commission postponed until
I later action they were expected to
take yesterday on ordering' a reduc
tion In the state price list. It had
been Intimated that the liquor store
price might be cut as much as 10 per
cent.
Law enforcement officers, and even
district attorneys, are "woefully Ig
norant" of their duties under the
Knox law. It was declared by Oeorge
Neuner, attorney for the commission,
and former United States attorney
for Oregon. He said Governor Meier
has demanded that the law actually
be 'enforced.
flam mis said he Is advised that "at
least 60 establishments are operating
In the city selling Illicit loquor by
the drink." Unofficial observers have
estimated at least twice that many
places are so operating.
The state has made a profit of
about $8,000 on Its liquor store op
erations to date, Sammls said on the i
basis of incomplete figures. Up to
